Madwomen in the Attic, WV, Creative Writing Workshops
The Frank and Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center
Fairmont State University

Poetry Workshop—Fridays 10:00 am – 12:00 noon (no class March 15)
February 1 – April 26, 2103 (12 weekly classes), $175/workshop

This class will focus on workshopping your poetry, based on the idea that reading your work aloud and responding to the work of others—is integrally tied to the development of writing. We’ll talk about how to find your voice, how to hear and honor your own internal dreams and visions, how to value your own work and put yourself first. The skills of listening to critique and offering comments that are specific and based on craft will be emphasized.

Tuition includes a copy of Voices from the Attic, the annual anthology of creative writing by the Madwomen in the Attic, published by Carlow University Press.
